Adversarial Machine Learning Engineer

Calgary, Calgary region💼 Full-time🗓 2026-05-27 → 2026-07-30

We are building a dedicated AI Red Team to rigorously test and harden enterprise-scale AI products. We are looking for an adversarial machine learning specialist who thinks like an attacker. This role focuses on identifying vulnerabilities in LLM-driven systems, breaking model guardrails, exploiting data pathways, and stress-testing AI deployments before they reach enterprise customers. This is a hands-on technical role at the core of AI security.

What You’ll Do

  • Conduct adversarial testing across LLM and AI-based systems
  • Execute real-world attack simulations, including:

- Prompt injection

- Jailbreaking and guardrail bypass

- Data exfiltration attempts

- Model inversion and evasion techniques

- RAG manipulation

  • Develop scripts and tooling to automate attack scenarios
  • Analyse model behaviour under adversarial pressure
  • Identify systemic vulnerabilities in:

- APIs

- Embedding pipelines

- Vector databases

- Fine-tuned model implementations

  • Collaborate with engineering teams to validate remediation
  • Document findings clearly and concisely

You will help ensure AI systems are resilient before they are deployed at scale.

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

Core Technical Skills

  • Strong experience in adversarial ML or AI security research
  • Experience working with LLM-based systems (OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source models, etc.)
  • Deep understanding of:

- Prompt injection techniques

- Model jailbreak methodologies

- AI system exploitation vectors

  • Strong Python skills
  • Experience building custom attack tooling or experimentation frameworks

AI Systems Knowledge

  • Familiarity with:

- RAG architectures

- Vector databases

- Model fine-tuning workflows

- API-based model deployments

  • Understanding of model safety mechanisms and guardrails

Nice to Have

  • Background in cybersecurity or penetration testing
  • Familiarity with OWASP LLM Top 10
  • Experience working in enterprise environments

Who You Are

  • Curious and relentless
  • Comfortable thinking like an attacker
  • Creative in finding non-obvious vulnerabilities
  • Detail-oriented but fast-moving
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity
  • Independent but collaborative

You don’t just run test cases — you design new ones.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive Private Medical Coverage
  • Support for Mental Health Expenses
  • Life Insurance Options
  • Attractive Compensation Package
